Hartford Oourant Germany has worm that eats steel rails. The evidence of the fact is better than that of the New York re- porters that the goats on the upper part of the island live on tin cans and hoop-skirts.
 Tue Cologne Gazette says that the German government has investigaked the railway at Hagen, where accidents were frequent, and found the suKfaee of the rails corroded. as if by acid, for distance 100 yards. The rail was taken up and broken, and it was literally hollowed out by Q thin, gray worm, to which the name ssrailoverous'' was given. The worm is two ,centimeters long, about. the size of the prong of a sil- yer fork, is light gray in color, and carries on its head two glands filled with corrosive secretion which is elected every ten min- utes on the iron. This rusts the iron and renders it soft, and then the insect greedily devours it. The report says that this crea-
 ture is the most voracious of it's kind, for it has deyoured thirty-six killogrammes of rail in fortnight. It will be interesting now for science to tell us whether this mis- erable microbe is ancient, and has always had these glands of corrosive secretion on his head, or whether he is recent 'tdevel. opment" to suit his environment of this ''age of steel.

Hsrtford Courant,: General Armstrong of Hampton, Va, institute has the author
 ity of the Indian fbureau for denying 6 published report that 8 recent outbreak ot renegade Indians in Arizona was led by 6 returned Hampton student. The bureau
 on the contrary, asserts that one of the five scouts who Followed the trail for 16 days, averaging 36 miles day, was Oliver Eaton, a Hampton boy. It has become g common thing for committees visiting the reservations to bring back bad reports about the returned students, reports which are in no wise justified by the facts which prove that the great majority of the stu dents are doing well. When it is remem- bered that after two or three years of schooling they are compelled to go back to their old savage tribal surroundings, the wonder is not that some backslide but that any are able to resist the evil influences and tendencies. Nevertheless within ten years there has been very perceptible advance, .sa 1.sF

tho rope to hoist the near foot whenever the brute tried to kick. Tn short time he put harness on him, hitched him to Q buggy, jumped in and drove him, finally skarting him and stopping him by verbal command. Then he had big bass drum hammered near his head, and tin pans and sleigh bells rattled. The stallion went straight up to them and was not annoyed by them after few trials. The professor laid down the lines, put his feet on the dashboard and fired the revolver. The stallion stood like statue. A horse afraid of paper was next brought in. The pro lessor soon had paper all around his head, threw it at him, made him walk over it and act as If there was nothing in the world he liked better than paper. A kicker was put into double harness with this horse, and both acted beautifully. stss . tBoston Herald) 5&.5'@
 Over twenty years ago Rarsy, the horse tanner, astounded the world by his manner of subduing wild and vicious equines His wonderful success brought numerous ri- vals, but none of these came up to Rarey, who continued to draw large audiences at every exhibition on both the old and new continents. Clever as Rarey was, how ever, and he was clever enough to ob- tain appointments from the British and French governments, Prof Gleason, the horse trainer, who is this week at the Winslow skating rink, accomplishes more than he did. Last evening the professor handled two ugly customers. The first was an undoubted shyer, and the next 6 vicious kicker, but both were reduced tc quietness, so that they were driven and ridden without any trouble. The profes sor explained how he broke the animals by simply educating them, and not by any cruel use of the whip or spun. a-5

The danger of railway crossings at grade was once more emphasized by the killing oni Tuesday of four persons near South Norwalk. Such crossings and the practice of walking on the tracks are fruitful sources of loss of life on our railroads. In thickly settled segions it is time that the law put an end to grade crossings; but, if per mitted, gates or Aagmen should always be provided. The killed were Mir. Van Hoosear, his wife and two children, be- longing in New Canaan, and who were re- turning after spending day of pleasure at Noroton Point, favorite shore resort.

The August Wide Awake has the first of 8 series of sketches of Old Concord and a paper on Summer Sports, both illustrated.
 The village where the first battle of the revolution was fought has been written and pictured and guide booked until the subject is hackpeyed; but nothing is fresh CT than unexpected news of a sleepy old relic. Margaret Sidney, the writer, lives in "Wayside," the home of Nathaniel Hawthorne, next door to the ,Alcotts', 8 mile from Concord bridge, towards Lex ington. But she slights the expectation of patriotic eloquence, drives about in her easy phaeton, taking friend along to hear the gossip of those who live in the air of & hundred years ago. And you who read are the friend in the phaeton. Elbridge s. Brooks gets into half-a-dozen pages practical clues to croquet, bowls, hare and hounds, canoeing, tennis, badminton, quoits, ball-in-the- hole, or nine holes, and stops with baseball, with bare mention of boat ing, fishing, swimming, camping, tramp ing, bicycling, photography. Charles Egg bert Craddock goes on 8 coon-hunt and trees 8 panther in the ''Story of Keedon Bluffs s"-her second young folks story (both of them written for Wide Awakel. There are long stories by Catherwood, Davis, Champneyys Hopkins short ones by Mitchell, Hart poems, sketches, skits, biographies, peeps at the Zoo. @. 40 a year-a sample copy sent for five cents.

 Mary Smith, 76, begger, died at Bos- ton Saturday from injuries received in be- ing run over by butchers cart. She is said to have been the most ragged woman in the city, going about the streets every day clad in bits of squalid clothing tied about her, and asking for money. She lived in little filthy hovel on Albany street, where 8 numerous herd of rats were her only companions. Here the policefound tucked away in 8 mass of rubpish an old hat filled with bank notes of high denomination,
 and several other large sums stored in va rious places about the room. Some time since Boston lawyer received a call from the old woman, who asked him to make her will, and left her property to various
 Roman Catholic interests. Her property is estimated at $20, 900. She shrewly left her relatives each $1 so that her will might
 not be disputed. She was familiar spec taele on Boston streets, and her filthy and
 ragged condition rarely failed to excite pity. She was once married ,and had been 8 eorset-maker, but little more is known of her history. tm~, .'-aTl.rf=

PRoBECUTnGG ATTORNEY CHAMBERLAIN of Bridgeport refuses tonotice complaints against people who have not nnuzzled their dogs. He says the law is violation of another law con- corning animals, as it is cruel to the dogs, and prevents the escape of precipitation from the tongue. The legal gentleman may be right, he probably is, but he is not law maker, but an executive officer. Too many officials get confused on this point.
